It's also now a series of guides to Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution and the rest of the BEMANI series of rhythm games by Konami. While not comprehensive, it should begin to answer some of the questions that you might have about the games. Please note that this FAQ only covers the GameBoy release of Beatmania GB2: Gacchamix. For a more comprehensive look at Beatmania and the rest of the BEMANI series, including things like Soundtracks (audio CDs), strategy guides, portable LCD games (the BEMANI Pocket games), and much much more, please check out my longer work titled DJ Syndrome: The BEMANI Series FAQ. All of the information contained in this FAQ is also available in the longer, more comprehensive work titled "DJ Syndrome: The BEMANI Series FAQ". This document is merely a scaled down version that only pertains to the GameBoy/Color release Beatmania GB2: Gacchamix (other versions of Beatmania, including GB1, the PSX, arcade, and WonderSwan versions, are _not_ covered). Title: Beatmania GB2: Gacchamix System: GameBoy Color/GameBoy Intro: The sequel to the successful Beatmania GB, Gacchamix takes songs from the PSX Gottamix & the LCD AnisonMix, borrows a few from popular musicians, and throws some original tunes into the mix. Gacchamix also sports one of the oddest setups in the series, with the songs grouped by type (Band, J-Girl Pop, etc.) and playable in any order (5 songs in each type). As with it's predacessor, Gacchamix shows that you don't need CD-quality sound to be fun. 0.02: Stage Flow___________________________________________ _____Menu Translations: Title screen: - Game Start - - Free - - 2P Battle - - Options - - Password - Game Start screen: - Normal - - Expert - Course Select screen (follows Game Start screen): - J-Girl Course - - Band Course - - Idol Course - - Anison Course - - Gottamix Course - Free screen: - Normal - - Hidden - - Random - - Auto - Free (after completing a song) sceen: - Sound Select - - Continue - - Exit - 2P Battle screen: (unknown - I don't know anyone else that has the game, so I've never played this mode...

Expert lists the song's stage number in Expert mode; Normal lists the song's stage number in Normal mode (all songs are available in all stages in Normal mode)] J-Girl Pop Course: Expert Normal Title 1 All Automatic 2 All Yumemiru Shoujyo Jyairarenai 3 All Time Goes By 4 All Makenaide 5 All Friends* Band Course: Expert Normal Title 1 All Robinson 2 All Sasurai 3 All Over Drive 4 All Believe 5 All Rydeen* Idol Course: Expert Normal Title 1 All Yozora NOMUKOU 2 All Nagisa Nimatsuwaru Etc. 3 All Catch You Catch Me 4 All Daite Hold On Me! 5 All Watashiga OBAsanni Nattemo* Anison Course: Expert Normal Title 1 All Uchuusenkan Yamato 2 All Sutekinakun 3 All Shouba!

They're easy enough to get, though... Note that the song will become available in Free Mode, as well as in the Course, the game after unlocking it. Song Title To Unlock... Friends clear J-Girl Pop Course Rydeen clear Band Course Watashiga OBAsanni Nattemo clear Idol Course Ultraman no Uta clear Anison Course Genom Screams clear Gottamix Course _____Passwords: Of course, if you don't feel like completing a stage to unlock a song, you can also cheat and use these passwords: MELODIOUS J-Girl Pop Course cleared; unlocks Friends GROOVY Band Course cleared; unlocks Rydeen SPLENDID Idol Course cleared; unlocks Watashiga OBAsanni Nattemo SUPERCOOL Anison Course cleared; unlocks Ultraman no Uta WONDERFUL Gottamix Course cleared; unlocks Genom Screams 0.04: Song List____________________________________________ [note: if multiple BPMs are listed, then it starts at the first number, then changes to the next number, then the next, etc. There is only one number in the Notes category since in 2 player mode the players play the same version of the song. Genre is the same as the Course (see above).] [note2: The songs are in the order that they appear in Free Mode (which is the same as in the separate stages) - press down so that they flow in the right order. Past that, if you're trying to match songs and names and know _no_ Japanese, your best bet here is to match up difficulties and use the course translations above...] [note3: I hope you guys appreciate this, as many of the songs/artists have kanji in their names, and I have the kanji-reading ability of a Norwiegian cat, which meant that I spent a few hours looking all (but one) of these kanji up. OK, maybe I'm not _that_ bad (as a Norwiegian cat, that is), but still... ;) Anyway, some of the kanji readings may be off, due to my lack of knowledge... Finally, any katakana that I can't figure out the Romanization for, or names that are in katakana, will be in all caps.] Song Title Artist Genre Diff.

This is merely a translation of the song's titles into English, with the best of my ability (which isn't that great, I'll warn you right now, so some of these may be pretty off...) English is the song's English translation, while In Game is how it appears in game (a few of the songs are already in English) - again, katakana is in all caps. The Gottamix Course is not listed as all of the songs are already in English. J-Girl Pop Course: English: In Game: Automatic Automatic Little Girls Dream ??
